Andra has a seven-year track record of steering growth and raising over $300M in investments for various groundbreaking DeFi projects. A fearless leader, she raised capital from top Wall Street firms and spearheaded one of the largest fundraises in the male-dominated field. She is also an angel investor and advisor to early-stage projects and currently helps other founders make an impact and is also a co-founder of a stealth AI project that she plans to launch soon.

Andra left Romania at 16 to pursue her studies in the US. While at UC Berkeley, she was surrounded by Silicon Valley dynamism, which inspired her ambitious goals and shaped her bold thinking.

Before venturing into DeFi, she secured a successful exit early in her career in the physical commodities space. She then spent seven years immersed in the golden era of the San Francisco startup scene. Beyond tech and crypto, Andra harbors a deep passion for education, health, wellness, and Formula 1 racing.

Currently, Andra is a co-founder at LYS Labs, a company leveraging cutting-edge technologies to solve the most complex AI data problems.
